Frederic Edwin Church

Frederic Edwin Church stands among the central figures of American landscape painting, associated with the Hudson River School and its sweeping, light-filled vistas of mountains, water, and tropical terrain. His canvases are monumental in scale and meticulous in detail, and the three works gathered here are all executed in oil on canvas. The sheets span 1859 to 1877, with impressions up to that later date, and include such subjects as The Aegean Sea, Heart of the Andes, and The Parthenon.
